Sorry guys...I suppose you could read the book...but it is really meant for the females. I have to say...I have read jsut about every inspirational, self-motivating, self-help, business geared, turn-your-life-around book I can get my hands on...and I just started reading one that actually has me so excited that for the first time (in a long time) I feel COMPELLED to tell the entire world about this book! I think every woman should read it!!! Whether you know what you want...or are completely lost...this is a definate MUST in your library!!!

"Inside Every Woman" by Vickie Millazo 

She also has a website http://www.insideeverywoman.com

I am telling you what ladies...if you think you had the motivation before...or if you have been finding yourself lost in a see of the same old same old....YOU HAVE GOT TO READ THIS BOOK!!!

Not only does it give great advice...it actually gives you exercises to do to help you USE the advice! Not only that...but it is really a super easy read! Usually I fall asleep to these books...I have about 6 on my nightstand for nights I have trouble getting to sleep...lastnight I was up until wee hours trying to get in ONE MORE sentence!!!

Anyway...I am starting to sound like and infomercial now...so I will stop...but seriously...you have got to check it out!!!

Thanks for the recommendation, Leah! I`m in need of something like this right now!  I`m going to Hastings this evening.........I`ll see if I can get my hands on a copy.

 

FWIW, another great read for women is Jean Chatzky`s, Make Money, Not Excuses.  It is specifically written for woman and offers an excellent viewpoint on women and finances.

Oww...thanks for the other recommendation...I will have to check that one out too!! (I should really invest in stock with Amazon or something.)  I am always looking for good financial reads that focus on women...I don`t think as many people realize how different it is for a woman when dealing with finances. I just got done reading, not too long ago, "Smart Women Finish Rich" by David Bach. Another good read...and he totally points out the pitfalls that women have when attempting to gain financial security and freedom. I think the thing I liked about his book was that it worked with the idea in some cases that we have nothing to really work with when first trying to save money and invest.  I went to a seminar that was based on the book as well...not AS great as the book...one of those things where you had to have money to buy the product to get the REAL advice...but informative none-the-less. Good read though.

Thanks again for the suggestion...I will pick it up with my next Amazon purchase!

I`ll have to pick that one up, as well, Leah.  I`ve got David Bach`s Automatic Millionaire, which is also a great read.  I`ve never picked up the Smart Women...book because I assumed it was similar info - but you are right about the importance of focusing on the financial issues of women.  Thanks for the recommedation.

My `to read` list is getting longer and longer these days!  LOL It`s just about caught up with my `to do` list!

LOL...my "To Read" list is out of control...the worst part...I have a bad habit of buying the book instead of just putting it on the list...so I have more of a "To Read" library!I have really got to stop that!

If anyone else has any great books specially written for the feminine community...please recommend (gives my husband something to complain about when I buy a new book )!

Great reco Leah! 

I have heard good things about this book. Will pick up a copy!

Another insightful book is Pitch Like A Girl by Ronna Lichtenberg

She too has a website: http://www.askronna.com/

This book is very helpful for understanding how to assert yourself with all of your womanly wiles WITHOUT falling into those masculine streotypes. Good read. Great insight into the male mind and male/female business dynamic.

One of the tidbits of information that stayed with me was something to the effect that even in a relaxed state, men have recurring themes of sex and agression coursing through their minds.  Poor fellows can shut it off. Explains a lot

 

Well that explains EVERYTHING!!! Of course...I guess I always had an idea that were the case! HAHAHHAHA!!! (Sorry guys)

I will have to look into that book. I read another one that was similar in theme to that...and at the moment...I apologize...I can`t put my finger around the name of it. I can see it on my bookcase at the moment in my head and can`t see the title. Anyway...there are a couple of others that I really like:

10 Stupid Things Women Do To Mess Up Their Lives by Laura Schlessinger

The Third Shift by Michele Kremen Bolton

How To Say It: For Women by Phyllis Mindell

All of them are great reads. Amazon has an entire section on business books for Women in business....worth checking it out!
